Statement
Yehan was born in Shanghai, China in 1959. He has been naturalized Canadian since 1995. His work has been collected all over the world for many years.

To him, art is a partnership between design and color. He uses these aspects to create images in which the process takes precedent. Nothing is more exhilarating than spreading paint over the canvas with large, expressive strokes. He combines an abstract, decorative style with contemporary influences.

His work is a process of creation as well as investigation. Nothing is hide on the canvas, but to express the nature of beauty and to reveal the discoveries made during his investigations. He works with layers of colors, thickened or scumbled over a textured surface. Traces are left by assorted mark-makers via straight lines and random structures. Yet it is the artist's eye, which seeks to prevail - telling the hand to add that last brush stroke which makes it all happen.

He is inspired by many influential artists include particularly Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. Both artists used energy in ways to change how we look at art. As Yehan's mature, more and more of his work reflect his personal experience. From that experience he see himself striving to achieve his own sense of expression.
